The objective of the PCC is to foster closer union between Church & home, Church & parents, Church & parishioners and to support and help coordinate special activities for the Children of St. Mary's Parish.
Known by the acronym PCC, the Parishioners for Catholic Children supports the activities of our Religious Ed Program. As the name implies, all parishioners are Members and so must be involved.
With the Pastor, the Executive Board Members for the 2024-2026 Term are:
Joshua Gadbois - President
Carrie Yezak - Vice President
Liz Yezak - Treasurer
Megan Greeson - Secretary
